humans are predictable and if we learned from our past successes and failures then applied them to the present and future I believe we'd have more prosperous and happy personal lives and a more wholesome society
The sheer volume of people who attempt the same thing the same way because they're "smarter and better educated" than the previous attempters (and they didn't bother checking the whys of previous fails) and are
when they fail the same way though.
I don't know how many people I've genuinely "left behind", they all probably moved on some way or other, even my parents that I "left behind" still living in my childhood home that I try to visit every couple of years. Maybe it's me that gets left behind? It's all relative I guess? XD
Yeah I know right?
Hey, let's make the exact same errors those before us did and expect different results.
WTF?
Leaving things (people) behind us is inevitable and probably quite human. We have all done it. I see it as a good thing, a smart thing, as it means we've grown and developed and are ready to move on to something different. Those that can't change generally bring about change in those around them who have the capacity for personal growth and noongwr want to stay where they are physically or emotionally. Something like that anyway.
